Editorial Review for Twisted Lizard – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Go early or be prepared to wait at this basement-level restaurant, which is decorated in a Texas whirlwind of blue lights, painted lizards and cowhides draping the walls. The outdoor patio offers prime Lincoln Park people-watching, and the citrusy margaritas and fresh chips and salsa make the wait worthwhile. The menu features contemporary renditions of old favorites like steak fajitas and enchiladas with mole sauce.

Always looking for good salsa, I was pleasantly suprised by Twisted Lizard's! All the dishes seem very authentic and come to the table quickly. The service is great and I've never really had a long wait. Sitting outside is also a fun option in the summer. Great margaritas too!!

Pros: Great salsa, food and margaritas

Cons: A little loud

Twisted Lizard has great service, GREAT atmosphere and GREAT food. This place is perfect for a big group of friends, but it's not really a 'first date' place. Try the raspberry margaritas, they're amazing.

Pros: Great atmosphere

Cons: Long Wait for a table

Casual Lincoln Park hangout draws a 20-something crowd with margaritas and reliably good Tex-Mex fare.  See the full editorial review.
